Steve Jobs Admired Mark Zuckerberg

Apple “liked” Facebook. Steve Jobs told his biographer, Walter Isaacson, that he admired Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for “not selling out.” Jobs said, “I admire Mark Zuckerberg. I only know him a little bit, but I admire him for not selling out, for wanting to make a company. I admire that, a lot.” He also appears to have admired Facebook itself. Of the company, he said, “We talk about social networks in the plural, but I don’t see anybody other than Facebook out there. Just Facebook, they’re dominating this.” Isaacson revealed the information in an interview with 60 Minutes.
